God he is terrible. It?s time to move on.
Jim is a legend and deserves to be the one to hang it up...
But Neil Price will be an instant upgrade when that time comes
What was so bad about his call?
I don't they'll give baseball to Neil. I think they'll turn that over to Bart but that's just a guess.
It just sounded dead. It sounded like he was the last one in the park that knew it went out. Hell everyone knew that thing was gone the minute it left the bat. I'm just waiting for someone to give it the Moneyball treatment.Quote:

Bart is really good on the TV broadcast, though...Quote:

I always figured Bart would be the guy once Jim was done...he halfway sounds like he's doing a Jim Ellis impersonation anyway. But with the games being on TV now and that being the way a lot of people take in the game, I do wonder what route will be taken when that time comes. Until then i'm going to enjoy listening to voice of the diamond dawgs and knowing the outcome of the play by the reaction of the crowd several seconds before Jim tells me what happened.
Amen!Quote:

If you can?t figure out what?s so bad about that call then you are part of the problem.Quote:

I would much rather have heard that one than the Jim Ellis call tbh. Kellum is annoying as hell but at least their broadcasts don't sound like their being broadcast from the Starkville Senior Center.Quote:

And he drives me crazy not giving the score enough. But he's still really good.
He and Jay Powell make a great team. Neil will do fine whenever Jim does decide to hang it up.
Jim Ellis is still 17ing great! You guys can find a way to bitch about anything.
Meh not really.Quote:
